You know I said to the aging of his ability to get there 452 00:36:29,85 --> 00:36:33,95 I'm afraid I've heard him think they are the experts in their fields and his system 453 00:36:33,96 --> 00:36:40,08 and we may go out to our to hire consultants I mean that's exactly right which 454 00:36:40,09 --> 00:36:45,31 theory against it is that these both are trying you know this is sort of your son. 455 00:36:46,38 --> 00:36:49,66 And it also tells servicing even hearing about a very have obviously been 456 00:36:50,11 --> 00:36:54,98 a lot better here as it may be to see push always looking great blue research is 457 00:36:54,99 --> 00:36:55,33 this really 458 00:36:55,34 --> 00:37:00,92 a company that last week's going to screen the telephone survey to take place I 459 00:37:00,93 --> 00:37:04,49 don't know was two weeks in May.

And so as you know the last survey we do is just make use 463 00:37:20,40 --> 00:37:25,45 of this I mean you've got to beat us all to you know take the temperature on 464 00:37:25,60 --> 00:37:31,16 various issues OK so maybe how we got from five o'clock to six o'clock on May 465 00:37:31,20 --> 00:37:38,19 eleventh when the you know the great world turned Europe just. So I would 466 00:37:38,27 --> 00:37:41,43 be expecting the survey company would be also there just provide some information 467 00:37:41,44 --> 00:37:47,86 about how the survey works not always was what people. And I said it was the course 468 00:37:47,87 --> 00:37:52,32 coming on that encouraging folks to take the call there so what do the color you 469 00:37:52,33 --> 00:37:56,07 will say green blue on it I'm going to say this in spirit as it were but we're 470 00:37:56,08 --> 00:38:00,09 going to call it will begin by saying I'm calling about Thomas and rich and that's 471 00:38:00,10 --> 00:38:04,51 because I'm actually applies to our place that kept identifier our rights how we 472 00:38:04,52 --> 00:38:10,35 had to comply and it's national who gets the interest rate.
